A man down on his luck, homeless, and trying to get enough money to move himself and his mother to another city took matters in his own hands and robbed a bank.

Vincent John Puccia entered Legends Bank, 1950 Madison Street, around 2:25pm today, walked up to one of the clerks, passed a note to a teller to give him money, and lifted his shirt to show the teller a gun; he never pointed the gun at the tellers. Also, there was one other customer in the bank at the time. Once the teller gave him the money, he left the bank and entered a cab, which he had called for prior to the robbery, and fled from the scene.
